SPLASH PAGE TIME!
I drew the pencils for this page the same day I drew the pencils for the previous page. I was worried when I started this one because I wasn't happy with the page before it, but I'm happy with the result because I felt I was able to capture the emotion I was trying to go for
Raph and Splinter together again

OK, now this is quite a powerful page. A bit soppy for my tastes, but I guess that was the point.
There's not a whole lot to comment on with regards to background here. I'm unsure as to whether including background or not would have detracted from the main message of this full-page panel. Perhaps a very light background? It seems that you're working in monotone black here, so including the background in light grey would break everything up, right? How about hairline-thin black? Do you think that would go in there nicely, and not stand out too much compared to the thicker black lines of the foreground characters?

XD I'm a sappy person what can I say? One of the reasons I was hesitant to do this piece was because I was afraid it was too sappy for people, but oh well.
I thought about putting a background in here but I didn't want it to distract from the interaction happening here, but I didn't want to make the background pure white either so I decided to add the floor scratches and broken glass and stuff, putting in a background would mean to cut the picture in half with a horizon line and then to have a lot of detail at the top showing where the tunnel leads back out to the sewers and the streaks of gunk on the wall and I was afraid of cutting the picture in half.

Hmm...
OK, how about if you out the horizon line really low down? Like a low angle shot? That way the main picture would sort of rise above it - wouldn't be too distracting if you kept the black lines of the background hairline thin, right?
Again, just toying with ideas here.

that would be possible, but then I'd have to redraw Splinter because he wouldn't be in the correct perspective XD and I'm too nervous to try and recapture the emotion from scatch.

Okjay...
Now I have stronger urges to color...
Curses to my mind.....
Hummm...
I wonder if that is one of the reasons Raph feels like he needs to be away from every one cause he felt giulty for even being born some of the time....
Don't mind the rambling fan....

My cuddles.
I love the blush you gave Raphie, so characteristic of someone who's clearly been crying a long time.
By the way; If you know the person leaving critiques it's all the better! That way you can actually smack them upside the head!

I generally give a slight blush to people when they're crying, I didn't give it to Splinter though because he's got fur XD it wouldn't make much sense. But the extent of the blush on Raph shows how long he's been crying, poor dear his voice is going to be gone tomorrow.. .not that he's saying much yet XD
XDDD He's safe for the moment because he's back in Africa.

I think it's adorable how you drew Leo AND Raph touching Splinter's muzzle (snout?). A cute little idiosyncrasy to throw in there

Not much needs to be said about this as it's quite clear that Splinter is relieved to have Raph back. And here he is showing another human charactoristic. He has no attachment to the turtles to start off with but he then develoops an attachment as shown her. And one emotion that he hasn't mentioned is Love. The love forur the four small infants he found. This is beautiful. You never see pics like this and it is great seeing so.

Thank you very much love is mentioned in the next page actually XD I didn't want to over-use to word because I feel it's thrown around so easily which is great, but for something as serious as this I felt it was needed to use it cautiously so that when I do it adds the extra weight behind the word that the word actually carries.

Arwing In reply to C-Puff [2009-07-19 03:13:08 +0000 UTC]
As always your welcome. Love is used out of context. I prefer tenderness or adoration myself, gives it more weight. This is serious and it really does need weight behind it but it's also of respect as well, for the charactor and the family unit.
